12. Planning 2.55 Similarly, we support the idea that teachers should have a plan for their lessons. But that doesn’t mean imposing a centralized planning template on schools. So we will make clear that neither the Government nor Ofsted require written lesson plans, let alone in a particular format.

13. The Place of APP 2.55 …... And we support the view that skilled and precise assessment of pupils’ work – both of the level at which children are working and of what they should be learning next – is an essential part of good teaching. But we do not need to impose national requirements as to how this should be done. So we will not be prescriptive about the use of the ‘Assessing Pupil Progress’ materials and the new National Curriculum will not specify the methods teachers use.

14. English Baccalaureate  English Baccalaureate (EBacc) would be awarded to students that pass at least five 'core' GCSEs at grade C or above – including: –Maths –English Language (but not English Literature) –Science (at least two GCSEs / Double Award) –A foreign language (includes all modern foreign languages and Classical Greek, Latin and Biblical Hebrew) –A humanities subject (History or Geography)  Individuals will receive a certificate to mark their achievement of the EBacc (from 2013)

15. Education Bill 2010 - 2011  gives teachers the power to search pupils for items banned under the school rules and issue same-day detentions  GTC, TDA, QCDA abolished which gives new powers to the Secretary of State as a consequence of these changes
